Sergi Abadal received the PhD in Computer Architecture from the Department of Computer Architecture, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in July 2016. Previously, he had obtained the M.Sc. in Information and Communication Technologies (MINT) and the B.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering from the Telecommunication Engineering School (Telecom BCN), UPC, Barcelona, Spain, in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Sergi has held several visiting researcher positions. From September 2009 to May 2010, he was at the Broadband Wireless Networking Lab, Georgia Tech, under the supervision of Prof. Ian F. Akyildiz. For several months in 2015/2017/2019, he has been visiting the i-acoma group, School of Computer Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (USA), led by Prof. Josep Torrellas. In July and August 2018, he visited Dr. Liaskos and Dr. Ioannidis at FORTH, Crete, Greece.

Currently, he works as an Associate Professor of the Computer Architecture Department of the UPC and as a director at the N3Cat group. He is the recipient of a Starting Grant, called WINC, from the European Research Council (ERC) and also the project coordinator of the EIC Pathfinder project CERBERUS. In the past, he participated in several other national and EU projects, including the H2020 FET-OPEN project WIPLASH. He is also Area Editor of several journals of IEEE and Elsevier and has worked in the organization of multiple conferences and workshops. Thanks to his achievements, Sergi achieved several prizes including the National Research Award for Young Talent of the Spanish Ministry of Science. His current research interests are in the areas of chip-scale wireless communications, including channel modeling and protocol design, and the application of these techniques for the creation of novel architectures for next-generation computing systems in the classical and quantum domains. Sergi is member of the IEEE, ACM, and HiPEAC.
